‘Parks And Recreation’ Season 6 Premiere: Hour-Long Episode Set In London; Leslie Knope ‘Jealous’ Of Heidi Klum Character

"Parks and Recreation" will premiere this fall on NBC September 26, and will guest star model and TV host Heidi Klum. The hour-long season premiere will be set in London.

Klum will play a small-town Danish mayor who is receiving the same "Women in Government" award that Leslie Knope is, The Huffington Post reports.

"Her town completely worships her in a way that makes Leslie a little jealous, considering that Leslie is undergoing a recall vote in Pawnee," executive producer Michael Schur said of Klum's character, according to EW.

Klum recently tweeted a photo on the set of "Parks and Recreation," with her posing next to Amy Poehler, who plays Leslie. Klum's hair was in big curlers, and she captioned the photo: "On the Parks and Recreation set with Amy Poehler... make sure you watch us on September 26th."

The show's executive producer Mark Schur released a statement this summer confirming Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe, who play Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger, respectively, will be leaving mid-season.

"The news about Rob and Rashida is true -- they will be leaving the show after the 13th episode of the upcoming season six. We've been working on their storyline (on and off) for four seasons now, and heading into this year, with the two of them contemplating parenthood, it felt like a natural time to move them into the next phase," the statement read, according to Fashion & Style.

The premiere is set in London mainly to accommodate Chris Pratt's shooting for his movie role in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy," ScreenCrush.com reports. Pratt plays Andy Dwyer on "Parks and Rec."
